Hey guys I was curious is there was a super class that all classes that have a companion object inherit, and thusly can be extended?

To enable the use of extension methods such as:

```inline fun &lt;reified T : Any&gt; T.Companion.extensionMethod = ...```

but what's the point? Methods in companion objects are basically what would be `static` in Java. If you have a static method/companion object function that exists in every class, why not just leave out the class and make it a global function? If you need the reified type, you can just provide it in the call like this
```inline fun &lt;reified T : Any&gt; logger() = LoggerFactory.getLogger(T::class.java)```

Right, it's ultimately just syntactic sugar.
